Through Spinal Cord Resource Network, an organization formed by the George Family, Laura George has become an ardent advocate for hurricane awareness.  If there is an issue, regarding hurricanes that you wish to address you can go to her website and respond.  She will also be speaking on this issue.  You can obtain her speaking schedule at the website address below.

From SpinalCordResourceNetwork:

The latest is (after a call to Chip Wilson, Florida Disability Coordinator,  from a friend of mine…) that he now wants to meet with us -supposedly next week.  If there is any thing at all that you would love me to tell him on your behalf…take advantage!  Please!  Obviously I’m meeting with him regarding sheltering…so you may want to cater it slightly to that. 

The other update..is that we are hearing strongly…that again…the governor will have no time for us this year.  Big surprise. 

However, I will be attending and speaking somewhat at both the Miami and Palm Beach Hurricane Conferences.  We will also be meeting with Hillary Styron, Director at the National Organization of Disabilities/Director of the Emergency Preparedness Initiative.  I am also going to try and coordinate a meeting down there between friend of mine (with an extensive background in psych issues and who currently heads the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation) and a few others.  Perhaps if you are looking for ideas or connections I can get something for you there as well.

All our blessings…

Laura George
